No black smoke until I do like 2 km and stops if I park for a min or 2 or if I hit the rpm’s it’ll run like normal. Today I changed the TFI cleaned the intake manifold looked if the distributor was bad, it’s very clean barely have 100km on it. Everything is back together so I’ll go ahead and...

disassembly didn't pass the Catspection:cry: Opportunity finally came to drive it back home but god was it a painful ride, idles just fine rev's up just fine when not driving but after like 10 minutes of driving it sputters feels and sounds like it's running on 4 cylinders and black smoke out...

we both know that wasn't an accident ! haha🧂🧂:ROFLMAO: I'll for sure follow your advice, not sure if reinforcement would be necessary since it's a relatively small hole about 3/16-1/8 but I'll still do some tests on an old chunk of plastic I have, with and without fiberglass /strands vs screen...

I googled it and saw an old video testing just that, said it held up for the 2 ish weeks he tested. after that I added the super glue and baking soda to my cart took what the chemical was and checked if it was resistant and it is so I'll try it out thanks!

not today but yesterday, starter to work on the fuel line on my 88 ranger. Changed the filter and pressure pump but I'm not sure if I installed the pressure pump the right way right now I have the +/- connectors towards the back of the truck and like a dummy I didn't make sure with the old one...

Turns out the issue was the negative connection from the battery to the body/motor ground and a wire in the loom that was barely connected. Now that this is fixed another problem came up the fuel pump is about to die right when it’s getting to freezing temperature. Almost feels like a game of...

in the long run I came down to term that I want to go overlanding, going up north winter camping and have all the power I could ask for. in that sense the 4bt sounds like it would be the go to, for sure the 1.9 tdi would be good for a daily that wouldn't really see anything else than Canadian...

thank you, will check that for sure already done pretty much one of the first thing I did, all the lights in the dash changed to led lights, same for DRL and sidemarkers

hey guys, I'm curious to see what it would actually take to swap the 2.9L in my ranger for a 4bt cummins. What should I consider to modify and/or change for something bigger

I finally got my license! yay I can drive alone now to the problem I have yet to determine, I tried to get the ranger back home but not even out in the street I stall( obviously am a noob) and doesn't want to start all lights go out but 3 on the dash that stay on even with the key out of the...

I've got it running, starts on a dime even when it's cold it idles at around 1100 rpm but after a while it goes down to 900/1000, took it for a ride around the block and fill it up. It sounds rough tho going above like 2000rpm it just sounds like it's gonna explode, pretty sure it's only because...

it's the bendix for a mercury, escort and explorer not sure about what years tho the separator plate was in pretty much perfect shape somehow not warped or ovaled holes. since I had to pull out the trans and transfer case to change the clutch and repair the threads I inspected it, cleaned it...

so I'm making this post hopefully to help others that might have this issues in the present or the future where the starter might start to grind when starting the truck or does grind when you try to start it. Personally I couldn't get it to start at all since the bolt holes where stripped to...

Found the problem, clutch switch is my no start problem, for now I shorted 2 wires so that I could try to start.. andddd original problem is still there :cautious:(starter grinding on flywheel and not engaging) So checking for a way to change either timing (engagement before spinning) or if I...

Doing a code check and honestly I dont understand the codes at all seems like I get 212467(11111 after code got repeated twice So either 21, 24 and 67 or 212 467 but 467 doesn't seem to really be a xode for anything so the 2 digit codes seem more logical ... ECT out of range? IAT out of range...
